Principal Lima's Eagle News

This week at DES, third-grade students completed their Math MCAS. On Wednesday, first-grade students enjoyed a walking field trip to Bristol Aggie to learn about plants. Today, students in rooms 8 and 18 participated in the Special Olympics in Dartmouth and did a fantastic job.

Next week, fourth-grade students will take the Math MCAS on Tuesday and Wednesday. Additionally, on Friday, the Massachusetts State Police will land in the big field as part of the DMS event. (pending weather conditions)

Please be sure to check out the upcoming important events, as many activities are happening as the school year winds down. As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Katelyn Lima, Principal (klima@drregional.org)

Students and staff alike were thrilled when JiJi visited on Monday. The beloved penguin even participated in a third-grade math lesson, adding extra fun and excitement to the day.

Food Allergy Awareness Week is May 11–17!

Please help DES raise awareness and support for our students regarding food allergies by teaching your children to be a “PAL” to friends with food allergies. For more information and resources, please visit the Food Research Allergy and Education (FARE) site. We appreciate the DES community for being mindful of the food allergens in your child’s classroom and for doing your part to help keep our students safe while at school.

During math on Tuesday, the students in M3 pretended to be Foot Locker employees! During a “staff meeting”, students analyzed our shoe inventory, determined sales trends, and made observations about the most popular and least popular shoe sizes. To do this, we had to create our very own line plot using our data, ensuring numbers were in numerical order, title and labels present and all data was represented with plots including any and all outliers! It was a fun way to tackle our measurement and data standards!
